Per ISPD guidelines, we have topical mupirocin for daily use as part of our exit site care orders. Microbiologist and I.D. pharmacist want us to remove this due to concerns of resistance. Wondering if other centers are following this guideline?
Hi Linda,
At Vancouver General Hospital, we are using both gentamicin and mupirocin for exit-site as per ISPD guidelines.
In Grand River Hospital, Kitchener we use mupirocin 2% ointment (cream is on long term backorder) as per ISPD guidelines.
